    Nellys Sophomore album was a hit full of hits. i think i have the original CD laying in storage somewhere in mint condition. favorite track is between "Hot in herre" and "air force ones" gave it that early 2000s sound that most people recognize now days.

    I love Nelly so much, that's my husband he just don't know it yet. But anyways that man is so talented, sexy, and fine, I love everything about him. I have all of his c.d's, I don't have a favorite one, but this one is definitely something I could get lose to.

    I like the cd because Nelly put more of him self into it. I glad he could come out like that for his fans.

    I give Nellyville a 10 cause not only Nelly a fine man ,but he make great hits.Then all the haters they can kiss mine and Nelly's ass. They are just mad cause they can't make $300,000 off 1 cd.Also,you can't mad cause he raps about shoes.As long as you aren't buying them, he can rap about any thing he wants too.

    Nelly is a talentless hack. As if rap and hip hop in general aren't inane enough. It is a sad statement about our culture when such incredibly stupid music is so popular.

    Ignore these groupies and face the truth: Nelly sucks. If you like REAL rap, try someone like Talib Kweli, not this piece of crap.

  1. The disc is incredible.
  2. A great pop album that reconciles his sudden wealth, attachment to home, and desire to rule the world.

    Nelly's caught between a rock and a hardass place--he's too edgy to comfortably collaborate with 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake but too corny to dig into the Neptunes' sleazily sinister beats on lead single "Hot In Herre." [Aug 2002, p.109]
